Let \(X\) be a Banach space and \(Y\) a proximinal subspace of \(X\). The metric projection \(P_Y\) onto \(Y\) is called Hausdorff lower semi-continuous at \(x_0\in X\) if for every \(\epsilon >0\) there exists \(\delta=\delta(\epsilon)>0\) such that \(B(z,\epsilon)\cap P_Y(x)\neq \emptyset\) for every \(z\in P_Y(x_0)\) and every \(x\in B(x_0,\delta) = \{y\in X : \| y-x_0\| <\delta\}\). The main result of this paper (Theorem~1.15) asserts that if \(Y\) is a proximinal subspace of finite codimension of a Banach space \(X\) such that \(Y^\perp\) is polyhedral, then the metric projection \(P_Y\) is Hausdorff lower semi-continuous on \(X\). This completes previous results of the author and \textit{G.\,Godefroy} [Rev.\ Mat.\ Complut.\ 14, No.\,~1, 105--125 (2001; Zbl 0993.46004)] and of the author [Colloq.\ Math.\ 99, No.\,~2, 231--252 (2004; Zbl 1061.46010)] (this last paper is misquoted as published in Collectanea Mathematicae). The present paper also surveys the properties of the metric projection onto subspaces of finite codimension in Banach spaces.
